350f tire question
« on: January 25, 2010, 06:10:53 AM »
what size tires are you guys running on your 350f's?  i found a set of 100/90 and 110/90 but im not sure if they will be small enough, and if not where are you guys finding these small 18 inch tires at?  going to change the pipes this week and pull the carbs and sort some things out and hopefully get a set of shoes soon and it should be ready for the road when the weather breaks.  i cant wait to ride this thing.

90/90-18 F,  100/90-18 R

Cheng Shins, IRC's, Avons, Bridgestones BT45's, Kenda's...etc.
most still have these sizes available.

I went with 90/90 in the front and 110/90 in the rear on my bike.  It is fully stock, and everything cleared.  I am running the Avon roadriders, and they stick pretty darned well.  If you plan on riding it hard in turns, then I suggest bucking up the extra $100 for good tires.  It will make the difference between you enjoying the bike you bought, and never riding the bike you bought.

I prefer 90/90-18 f and 100/90-18 rear.  At the moment, I've got Avon Roadriders on my track bike, and they seem to stick OK.  AFIK, the smallest Bridgestone BT45 rear is 110/90-18.  A Pirelli / Bridgestone vendor is going to sponsor our rider school this year, and wants all us instructors to contract for his brands.  So, I may run run a pair of BT45s in 90/90 and 110/90.
